In the last few decades, photographic methods of producing pages of type have rapidly evolved. Phototypesetting uses a variety of mechanical, optical, and electronic methods of projecting the image of a type character onto a photosensitive film, paper, or printing plate. ... Advanced exposing methods, such as laser-beam recording, can scan copy, set type, compose pages, insert drawings and halftones, create tabular material, and expose all those images directly onto printing plates or phototypeset films and papers.
